This Warrants A Smile: Foster the People Announce 2012 Tour Dates

In this article:

Pump up those kicks people, because Foster the People are hitting the road for a 2012 tour. The band that seamlessly fused indie-rock, pop and electronic for the most pop-friendly top-to-bottom album rock album since Vampire Weekend’s debut (in my opinion…) is doing a global tour in the style of some of the biggest names in the business. And for good reason. Because in 2011 at least, they were one of the biggest names in the business. Topping the charts and blowing up the web by constantly owning the Spotify top lists and more. We last covered Foster the People for their surprise Bowery Electric show, but there is no Sign-up below for deals on Foster the People tour tickets in your area.

Now Foster the People is lighting up their Torches for a global adventure that won’t leave too many fans out of the live mix. If I have clearly painted a picture of the color on the walls, just check below.
